Yeah, you listen to the health care official because PANDEMIC.
It’s not her or anyone else’s fault you can’t motivate yourself to work or exercise for yourself.
You may have depression and may not want to admit it, and find it quicker and easier to blame others. Seek professional help, call the 24 hour crisis line, go walk outside. Everyone’s world is 1/1000 of what it used to be but we have ways to still be connected and get fit.

Perhaps get a Pelaton or Treadmill and work with your laptop and phone there. Working and working it girl!

and the lethargy would like to rear its ugly head but force myself to get to the community garden & i always start feeling better & return home energized.

I have a peloton bike too and i am glad i bought it. it means i don't have to bike at the park with you.

Employers don’t really have a choice when it comes to doing the right thing In this situation. I’ve worked from home many times in my life for several companies. Working from home means that you’re still WORKING. What you’re doing is completely wrong and shows that you shouldn’t be an employee of that company at all. Employers have to give up control when their employees work from home, and what you’re proving is that you’re a child who needs to be constantly supervised and they should not trust you at all. Grow up!

My partner is more exhausted than when he biked into the office. On average he works two pretty solid hours extra per day. No leisurely coffee breaks or extended paid lunches. One of his crazed micro managers demands a daily check -on call around 4:00 to review what progress has been made. Ouch. I guess depending on your job, deadlines are becoming less soft.

I drink on the job now

I'm in a similar boat, OP, except that I'm the one killing myself to try to maintain pre-pandemic levels of productivity while it's clear no one else from my office is even online most of the day. This isn't happening because I'm okay, but rather because I'm so terrified of ending up jobless in this, especially now that my mom and some extended family are dependent on my income.
But what happened? I actually got told to do less, even just log off for hours at a time, because my productivity was stressing everyone else out about how little they are doing.
In other words, I suspect you'll get away with this just fine. It does sound like depression, too, so if they ever came for you, you could maybe retro a sick leave? Anyways, you have my compassion, these are hard times and feeling demotivated is a natural response to a traumatized world where we don't know what normal will be anymore. I hope you can give yourself permission to rest and recharge, and then maybe you'll even find yourself wanting to achieve something work-wise once you're in a less stressed space.

Don’t fk it up
